Energy Efficiency

Every solar project should begin with a comprehensive energy audit, with a basic energy audit required in order to receive NYSERDA incentives for PV projects. Energy efficiency measures can help to maximize the financial and environmental benefits of investing in solar by substantially reducing your base energy load. There are many ways you can reduce electricity use in your home and help reduce your energy bills.

NYSERDA The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, a public benefit corporation, offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and funding to help New Yorkers increase energy efficiency, save money, use renewable energy, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. NYSERDA professionals work to protect the environment and create clean energy jobs.
